The Charges and Trial
While specific charges remain under scrutiny, insider reports suggest the conviction stems from a high-profile financial fraud case linked to her activism work. Sources claim Vayntrub allegedly misused funds from her refugee aid organization, Can’t Do Nothing, which she co-founded in 2016 after witnessing the Syrian refugee crisis firsthand .
